I use small animals, people, etc. cut from cards to glue into the bottom box in a 3-d effect to make scenes, etc. the bottom box is made of a card with a scene on it for background. kids love them, so do adults!!

Thanks for the great instructions. I used to make these boxes years ago but I forgot how to do it! They’re great in a craft fair, too. I used to sell them for a quarter a piece. Linda

Thank you for the great instructions. I received one from a friend years ago and have always wanted to try and make them. Your directions make this easy for me.

Thanks for sharing,
Anne

To hide the printed/handwritten message inside the card, lightly spray paint the inside of greeting card and allow to dry before making the box. Gold or silver looks nice inside the finished box. Spray paint can also cover unwanted words on the front of the cards.

This was just perfect! My daughter, 6, bought a cute, little necklace for her friend for her birthday, but I didn’t have a box. Because I’m not much of a card person, I ended up using two large index cards for the box and wrapped it in wrapping paper. It worked just fine for the purpose intended, and I didn’t have to run out into town with 3 young children to find just a box! Thank you!

Amazing tutorial. I’ve made these before, but you explain it far better than I ever could have. :)

this is excellent and so easy, i have yet to try it but you have explained it so well, i’m just about to try it out… its going to be so much easier and cheaper than having to buy them cos sometimes you cant get the right size or style and it recycles old cards, thank you ever so much for passing this on to others, i for one am extremely greatfull, with only a few days to go before Christmas this is excellent to do with the children i look after once they have made their cookies and fudge for family members as presents they can then put them in their own little hand made boxes thank you a thousand times over
